Edinburgh Trams have made history for the right reasons, for once. A test run saw the first guided rail vehicle to traverse Leith Walk in 66 years. History was made on Monday night (13 March), when the first tram in seven decades ran down the 2.4-kilometre city boulevard. The test run came as the “Trams to Newhaven” project nears completion. The route opens for service later in Spring, after a period of testing and commissioning, to ensure the newly constructed line, software and signals work effectively and safely, and probably make sure the rails the right distance apart.
